In keeping with this, Federal AMA is launching a program for future leaders in which the successful applicants will spend a weekend in Canberra learning about the intricacies of the Federal political process, the development of AMA policy, working with media and political decision-makers.

The program will be held on 5 and 6 August at AMA House in Canberra. Federal AMA will fund travel and accommodation for 12 attendees.

Applicants with a strong interest in the development of medico-political health policy and advocacy within the AMA are encouraged to apply.
